WHAT HAS BEEN DONE ON IMPROVING THE SBS DATA PRODUCTION DURING THE PROJECT RENATA TUMĖNIENĖ Chief specialist Enterprises statistics division RENATA.TUMENIENE@STAT.GOV.LT Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY

MAIN ACTIONS HAD TO BE CARRIED OUT DURING THE PROJECT ANALYSIS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE DATA FOR SBS APPLICABILITY IMPROVEMENT OF A MODEL BASED ESTIMATION METHODS FOR THE PARTICULAR VARIABLES DESCRIPTION OF A QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS FOR STUDYING AND MONITORING THE QUALITY OF SBS Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY

ANALYSIS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE DATA FOR SBS APPLICABILITY THE FOLLOWING ADMINISTRATIVE SOURCES HAS BEEN ANALYSED: INTER-INSTITUTIONAL DATA WAREHOUSE (DW) VAT DECLARATION ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF ENTERPRISES CASH FLOW STATEMENT STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN EQUITY INFORMATION FROM STS Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY

ANALYSIS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE DATA FOR SBS APPLICABILITY THE FOLLOWING VARIABLES OF INTEREST WERE ANALYZED: TAXES LINKED TO PRODUCTION PURCHASES INVESTMENT NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED BY EMPLOYEE Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY

ANALYSIS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE DATA FOR SBS APPLICABILITY ANALYZING DW IT COMES OUT THAT THE VARIABLE “TAXES LINKED TO PRODUCTION” NEARLY CORRESPONDS TO THE SAME VARIABLE FROM STATISTICAL SURVEY THE OPTIMAL MODEL BASED ESTIMATION METHOD WAS SEARCHED. IT WAS CONSTRUCTED ON THE BASE OF RESPONDENT ENTERPRISES. THE VARIABLE “TAXES LINKED TO PRODUCTION” IS COMPRISED OF MULTIPLE VARIABLES. TESTING THE OPTIMAL MODEL BASED ESTMATION METHOD AND ANALYSING ALL THE INTEGRATED VARIABLES THE OPTIMAL SUM OF NEEDED VARIABLES WAS FOUND. TAXES LINKED TO PRODUCTION WILL BE OBTAINED FROM ADMNISTRATIVE SOURCE FROM THE NEXT REFERENCE YEAR. THE RESPONSE BURDEN ON ENTERPRISES WILL BE REDUCED. Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY

ANALYSIS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE DATA FOR SBS APPLICABILITY TO FIND THE BEST ESTIMATION METHOD FOR THE VARIABLE “PURCHASES” THE VAT DECLARATION HAS BEEN ANALYZED IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BEST MODEL ESTIMATION METHOD FOR THE VARIABLE “PURCHASES” IS A REGRESSION MODEL CONSTRUCTED BY 2 DIGIT NACE LEVEL FROM THE VAT DECLARATION OF THE VARIABLE “PURCHASES”. THE RELATION BETWEEN VARIABLES OF INTEREST WAS STRONG ENOUGH AS THE COEFFICIENT OF REGRESSION IN ALL NACES WAS FROM 0,83 TO 0,99. A REGRESSION MODEL WAS CONSTRUCTED ON THE BASE OF RESPONDENT ENTERPRISES. USING A REGRESSION MODEL THE ACCURACY OF THE SBS DATA WAS IMPROVED. Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY

ANALYSIS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE DATA FOR SBS APPLICABILITY TO IMPROVE A CALCULATION OF INVESTMENT VARIABLE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF ENTERPRISES WAS ANALYSED THE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE VARIABLE INVESTMENT TO A CASH FLOW STATEMENT AND STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN EQUITY WAS ANALYSED. VARIABLE “INCREASE/DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF THE TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS CAN BE USED FOR CALCULATION OF THE VARIABLE “INVESTMENT”. THE ADDITIONAL VARIABLES FROM ADMINISTRATIVE SOURCES USED FOR CALCULATING INVESTMENT IMPROVED THE ACCURACY OF THE SBS DATA. Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY

ANALYSIS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE DATA FOR SBS APPLICABILITY INFORMATION FROM STS WAS ANALYZED DUE TO VARIABLE NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED BY EMPLOYEE THE INFORMATION FROM STS ON VARIABLE “NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED” BY EMPLOYEE COMPLETELY CORRESPONDS TO STATISTICAL SURVEY PURPOSES. THIS VARIABLE FROM STS CAN BE USED DIRECTLY FOR SBS PURPOSES. IN THE FUTURE, USING THIS VARIABLE FROM STS WE PLAN TO REDUCE A RESPONSE BURDEN ON ENTERPRISES. Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY

IMPROVEMENT OF A MODEL BASED ESTIMATION METHODS FOR THE PARTICULAR VARIABLES A MORE ACCURATE ESTIMATION METHODS FOR THE FOLLOWING VARIABLES WAS FOUND: TAXES LINKED TO PRODUCTION PURCHASES INVESTMENT NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED BY EMPLOYEES STOCKS BY KIND Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY

DESCRIPTION OF QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS FOR STUDYING AND MONITORING THE QUALITY OF SBS SCHEME OF QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS FOR STUDYING AND MONITORING THE QUALITY OF SBS WAS CREATED XXXX YEAR Data sources Number of enterprises Number of filled values Number of filled values by enterprises Number of values, received from other data sources Number of edited values Number of imputed values Number of edited/imputed reports A 1 2 (3+4+6) 3 4 5 6 7 SURVEY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY

DESCRIPTION OF QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS FOR STUDYING AND MONITORING THE QUALITY OF SBS SCHEME OF QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS FOR STUDYING AND MONITORING THE QUALITY OF SBS WAS CREATED QUALITY OF INDICATORS THIS SYSTEM OF QUALITY EVALUATION WILL ENSURE A POSSIBILITY TO STUDY, MONITOR AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF SBS SURVEY Indicators Data sources Number of enterprises filled in (response) indicator Number of edited values Number of imputed values The weighted units (by turnover) of response values of edited values of imputed values 11110 Total Survey Financial statements Tax declarations Other statistical survey Non-response 12110 Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY

THE RESULTS ACHIEVED DATA OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE SOURCES ARE USED MORE WIDE IN ESTIMATING SUCH VARIABLES AS TAXES LINKED TO PRODUCTION, PURCHASES, INVESTMENT, STOCKS BY KIND, NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED BY EMPLOYEES SBS SURVEY AND ESTIMATION METHODS OF THE VARIABLES AS WELL AS THE QUALITY OF STATISTICAL DATA PRODUCTION IS IMPROVED ONE SYSTEM OF QUALITY INDICATORS FOR STUDYING, MONITORING AND IMPROVING SBS SURVEY CONSTANTLY IS CREATED I Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY

FUTURE PLANS PRACTICALLY IMPLEMENT THE CREATED SYSTEM OF QUALITY INDICATORS KEEP GOING TO ANALYZE ALL AVAILABLE AND NEW ADMINISTRATIVE SOURCES FOR BETTER ESTIMATION OF SBS VARIABLES AS WELL AS FOR REDUCTION OF RESPONDENCE BURDEN TO IMPROVE THE EXISTING ESTIMATION METHODS OF SATISTICAL VARIABLES Luxembourg, 29-30 June 2009, Workshop II IMPROVEMENT OF SBS DATA QUALITY
